Falling woman saved by pile of ...

A Chinese woman survived a plunge from a sixth-floor balcony thanks to a convenient pile of excrement which broke her fall.

The accident happened when the woman was hanging out laundry on Monday in Nanjing, capital of the eastern province of Jiangsu.

"Workers happened to be emptying the building's septic tank, which had not been tended for a long time and had regularly blocked sewage pipes,"

"She probably stretched out too far and fell ... right on to a 20 cm-thick heap of excrement."

The woman suffered only slight injuries, said the Kuaibao newspaper.
